So it's definitely been longer than I ever want to wait for an update, but if you've been following along on Instagram - @trendstyled - then you'd know I have a good excuse. I'm currently making my way around New Zealand and Australia to visit my family on this side of the world and to check out some collaboration prospects. This is my second time visiting and I have to say, these countries really are some of the most beautiful spots I've ever visited. Australia itself is widely known as an obvious destination for tourists, but if you ever make your way around to the South Pacific, you have to stop into New Zealand... truly some of the best views of untouched lands, forest lined winding roads, and pristine coastlines you'll ever encounter!

The weather South of the Equator is doing a weather transition opposite than the Northern countries - winter into spring, not summer into fall - so I was wary of packing the proper layers in preparation for this long trip. Luckily, my friends at American Eagle Outfitters sent over the perfect transitional layer. Mimicking the plush sheep that are seen all over New Zealand which easily out number the countries population, this Sherpa Fleece Jacket was the perfect addition to my travel garb. Either dressed down with a beanie and denim like I'm styling it here or layered over your office tailored wear, the AEO Sherpa Fleece Jacket helps make that weather transition a little more stylish.
